Recognizing the imperative of restoring global growth, the Columbia Global Centers | Rio de Janeiro and the Center on Global Economic Governance at Columbia-SIPA have joined forces to produce a ten-part series. The series brings together experts from around the world, including Brazil and other emerging markets, and continues through May 2021. The series will treat subjects ranging from fiscal and monetary challenges, inequality and health, labor markets and social policies, and key sectors, such as energy and technology. We are pleased to announce the launch of this new series on January 28-29. In two separate sessions, speakers will provide an overview of global economic conditions and how these conditions will help or constrain economic recovery in Brazil and other middle-income economies.
